I don't know what I'm supposed to call this art. So I'm gonna call this particular piece (wot wot) "Nobody likes physics." Slightly ironic, considering the <i>incredibly </i>realistic physics shown in the artwork. Anyway, we were learning to shade 3D shapes to show a light source. This was quite hard and has now made me hate cubes. "Oh, you want to draw me Calvin? Okay, OH WAIT I'M GOING TO LOOK TERRIBLE AND ANNOY YOU TO THE END OF TIME! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" So I had to draw the cube multiple times just to get it looking okay. My next step is to learn how to draw cubes.<br />

My Reflection</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is a narrative plan with 3 columns. Yup. Doesn't have a name so I'm gonna call it the trubblerectanglemap. We were learning to take a character from a book and expand on that character, making it's own story. This was FUN. I didn't initially choose this character, but we don't talk about the first character. This character however... this character isn't too important to the plot, only really appears in two parts and in between those parts it's not explained how he got there. Perfect. I could make up an ancient Arabian mafia, a cabbage rescue mission, I could've even made him go to the moon*! So overall, this was EASY! It's gonna be published soon too. My next step is to publish this.<br />

This certificate is for the almighty SAINT JOHN IN SCHOOLS PROGRAM! The picture is slightly weird, I mean, where did they get that massive piece of paper? Maybe they had some excess bandages. And if I was slightly better at taking pictures then you would see the impossible sand castle*. Anyway, I am a doctor now. Yay.</div>

This is a photo of me and my Youthtown certificate. As you can see, I am <i>very </i>enthusiastic about the sports. I'm a big fan of the Rogbee game. I love the running at the other people and the sitting on them until they give you the ball. I also love the attacking of the earth with the ball. Youthtown also had some of the sports games which were of the fun. There was the Hokkey game and the Biscutball game. <br />

My Reflection<br />
I was learning to make a haiku. I had to do it about something in nature. So I did winter, because penguins and Snowman Steve*. I found this work tricky because how many words are there for ice? It was originally supposed to be about antartica, but people thought it was about winter so I just pretended it was about that all along. My next step is to create a detailed backstory for snowman steve. Oh yeah, and do a haiku about something I´ve never heard of.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I´m not really sure what we were learning about this. Like, we were talking about how Meg in A Wrinkle In Time has a rebellious personality and Mrs Borcher (Google wanted to call her Mrs Scorcher) gave us this activity. I found this slightly tricky because I don´t like talking about my personality. It just seems kinda vain to me.</div>

My Reflection</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were learning to paint using different techniques. Maybe I should have learnt to draw first. Anyway, the process (The Calvin way)!: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Paint the sunset </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Draw the skyline of Auckland on black paper. It is crucial that you do this badly.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Cut out the skyline. This must also be done terribly.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Sponge paint the water. Make sure the paper folds over and gets blue on your lovely sunset.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Glue the skyline on to the paper so that all the tops of the buildings stick out.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Upload!</li>
</ol>
This was actually quite easy though.<br />
How to do it properly!<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Paint the sunset by mixing the colours: Orange, red and yellow</li>
<li>Draw the skyline of Auckland on black paper. It's easier if you make the buildings very wide.</li>
<li>Cut out the skyline. This is why it's easier if the building are very wide.</li>
<li>Paint the water by dipping a small sponge in paint and squishing it against the paper.</li>
<li>Glue the skyline onto the paper.</li>
<li>You're done!</li>
</ol>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, my next step is to learn how to draw. And cut.<br />
<br /></div>

I was learning how to persuade people to believe my point of view and to speak confidently in front of an audience. I found this incredibly hard. It's just something about reading from a script that just makes me so nervous. I wonder what would have happened if I had just made it up as I went along. Probably an abomination of a speech. Hmm.

We were reading the green book. I'm pretty sure I've done a post about this before. Anyway, I was learning to compare the life cycle of the moth people on the planet Shine (In the green book) and the life cycle of a Earth moth. I found this work tricky because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. I have absolutely no idea what my next step is.</div>

Amazing what these people do while I'm away. Also, the solar system is the big thing this term. Solar system art, solar system inquiry, solar system writing and solar system reading. Maybe not reading. That requires it's own paragraph! Yay!<br />
<br />
Welcome to the paragraph entirely for reading! Rather posh. Anyway, the book we're reading is called "The green book." As far as I can see, it's not green. The basic story line so far is: Earth is dying. Bunch of government people allocate planets to groups of people to colonize. Did I mention these are groups of ordinary people? So, where was I, ah yes, the particular group this follows goes to a closer planet that hasn't been checked because nobody cares about them, and, surprise surprise, it goes wrong. There is no edible plant life and the grass is made of sharp glass! SHARP GLASS! WHAT THE HECK PLANET?! And that's where we're up to. Planet sounds nice doesn't it? Slightly solar systemy.<br />
<br />
And for the one bit that has nothing to do with the solar system, speeches are coming around again. Again. Which is why my speech is going to be about speeches being a waste of time*. It's pretty good in my opinion, for a speech. Hooray.<br />

Firstly, we're now doing SDL in this classroom like last year. SDL stands for self-directed-learning which is a fancy teacher word for deciding what subject you want to do and when you want to do it. And then there's the badly named "Terrific Tuesday" which is bad because A) Tuesday is terrific already and B) It make Tuesday not so terrific. I had to start saying "Merry first part of Tuesday" instead of "Merry Tuesday*". I also happen to come back just before the 3 way conferences and the book fair week, so I missed out on those (If you didn't know, 3 way conferences are things where the parent comes in too see their child's work and talk to the teacher.). Plus Matariki. I hate Matariki. I mean, I like Matariki, but I don't like the stuff we 'learn' about it EVERY YEAR! AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ABOUT THE WATER CYCLE! AAAAAHHHH!<br />

It's an art gallery in Paris. Inside, we went to see the Henri Rousseau exhibition and the impressionists exhibition. I'm going to talk about the impressionists exhibition because it was amazing.  We saw a lot by a guy called Monet (pronounced mon-nay) who did some really pretty paintings of water. I found one that I really liked of the beach with some very pretty waves. By the way, impressionist art is more focused on colour than detail. Unfortunately you weren't allowed to take pictures. </p>

We did this on the same day as Bunratty Castle and seeing as Bunratty Castle was so big it was very late when we arrived. But we still got to see everything. So anyway, the first thing we saw was, obviously, the Cranog. The Cranog was a manmade island made by iron age people. Not much else to say. The next thing was a hill fort. Which was, surprisingly, a fort on a hill. But underneath the hill fort was a little passage which ended with a ladder leading up to one of the huts. There was also a thing about some guy sailing around the world in a small boat to prove some other guy could do it, but I won't talk about that. </p>

I felt sick for an hour. Coincidentally in the air. </p>
<p dir="ltr">5. Bath. <br>
Bath is a Roman town in Wales. What did you think it was? It's where the Roman baths are. Unfortunately I don't remember much. I remember the huge green baths and a opening of the natural hot springs, but not anything else. Sorry about that. </p>

Turn Germany into England and it's Tuesday. That doesn't work when you don't know what day it is. </p>

<p dir="ltr">1. Bunratty Castle.<br>
The day after we left the house I talked about in the last post, we went to a place in the other side of Ireland (The Republic of Ireland) called Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. One word: AMAZING. Multiple words: Very big. Bigger than the TOWER OF LONDON! THE MASSIVE IMPENETRABLE* FORTRESS WHICH IS MOST FAMOUS THING IN LONDON! Still very cool though. We did this "typical Irish night" thing where there was tons of people, you got this very nice lamb stew and there were a couple of people dancing and singing. This post is going to be very long if I don't move on.<br><br></p>

We got lost. There was this moving dinosaur and there was SUPPOSED to be a "Living fossil" which was a preserved coinelithith? Conilefith? Coneilifif? A fish. Moving on to arriving in Ireland, and some things in Ireland.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, the flight from London to Ireland was actually quite short, only a hour long. But once we got there there was a 2 hour drive in this stupid rented car, for half the journey the speed limit was in miles and the car only said kilometers, we went on a toll road without realizing it and I was carsick. But once we got here, it was really nice because my grandaunty Laine has this HUGE house with a massive back yard and it was just really nice.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Little bit about the peat photo, what you do with peat is, you scoop it up, dry it out and burn it. Don't get that stuff in NZ.</p>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This week we started a writing project where we had to make an ad about something that could make our holidays awesome. I have already done a post about this. It should be just about there <span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">↓</span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">↓</span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Als</span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">o, we are doing Agamographs for art. So far, all we've done is write down ideas. I suppose I should tell you what an Agamograph is. An Agraph, agamy, agamo, FINE I'LL CALL IT AN AGAMOGRAPH, is a picture that changes depending on how you look at it. Example: Earth to Earth shaped Penguin in space. These usually have to be related somehow. With the example, the Penguin ate the Earth, hence the earth shaped. Anyway, I am finding the ad easy because I've finished it and the art easy because I haven't started it*. My next step is to: </span></span></div>

My Reflection</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were learning to make an advertisement to convince our parents to do something that would make our holidays amazing. I chose to make mine about letting us play video games all day. I started out doing an animation like everyone else, but after I couldn't think of a script and most of the time I didn't have a computer to make the animation, so I decided to try and do a POSTER OF AMAZINGNESSABILITY. I was the only one doing a poster, since it wasn't one of the original options we were given. And look, it turned out amazing. I even made a pamphlet. The persuasive techniques I used were:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.Emotional appeal: Using things that the people who I am directing this ad to like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Testimonial: A review from a happy customer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3.Slogan: In this case: "Leave'em be and be free" A catchy thing that will stay in people's mind</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Repetition: Saying something over and over again so you remember it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Bandwagon: Fear of missing out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Expert opinion: Using something that people will trust because it was said by someone who knows what they're doing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this work tricky, because there <span style="font-size: xx-small;">wasn't many benefits. </span>My next step is to make more pamphlets. </div>
